David McIntosh
Richmond, VA, USAFrom my experience as a designer, a marketer, and a production manager, I understand that a clearly executed plan creates the best product, assures client joy, and builds brand value. Through effective collaboration with leadership, creative, and production teams, I ensure that nothing is lost in the translation from design to deliverable. My skills range from design and project management to managing vendor relationships and production schedules.
